Ii was hardly necessary for us to answer
the question which Mr.. W. S. Thomas
asked the chairman of the wigwam meeting.
as TO the Police Court law being the result
of political scheme Still. it gave ms a
good degree of satisfaction to spread out
our reasons in the REPUBLIC. The most
satisfactory and conclusive answer, how.
ever, to Mr.. Thomas's question is given in
the action of the non partisan city con-
vention and its results. The poIice
court law was the fruit of a political
scheme-of which Mr.. William 5. Thoms,
was the father-and everybody now sees
that this is true. The elder Thomas said.
very emphatcally. at the wigwam meet
ing. that neither he nor any member of his
family, was candidate or would be, but
Mr.. W. ). Thomas was a candidate, as we
knew lie would be, at the non-partisan city
nominating convention. on Monday night.
and he received - votes on one ballot. -
on the next, and was then seized BY the
slack of his breeches and thrown out of
court He was a candidate no longer. He
wanted 20 be a candidate, but the conven-
tion wouldn't have it. As is often the case.
the schemer failed to get the benefit of the
scheme. Still the fact of the scheme re-
mains. Democrats are heirs to whatever
political capital may possibly be made out
of the scheme. as it materialized Monday
night. The fact that three new minor Of
fees have been created. so that the demo
Gratis could trade them of with the non
partisans for their support for a DEM
ocratic candidate for the position of
mayor, and the subsequent fact
that the trade was consummated.
Monday night, are two concurrences that
make the scheme as plain as letters of fire
on black cloud. Mr.. Thomas and his
have answered his own
question.
